F1 Fanatic

@dmw

The issue with the pace of the field, and the Merc in particular, is that they immediately went into conservation mode. Buxton is right to point out that Ferrari bucked that trend and that that gave them […]

I was bored to death by Sunday’s race but Will Buxton’s post-race commentary has started to change my mind.

“What Ferrari did in Spain was to completely flip the script. Rather than going into the race and […]

I thought it was a great race to have on in the background while I made a delicious breakfast. F1 is doing a tremendous job in filling the “Top Gear re-runs” gap in my weekend schedule. 2

@macaque Yes! That was my thought exactly. This has the potential to increase the importance of the reserve driver and give them opportunities to prove themselves.

For example – If this were implemented this […]

@mcgregski I was coming at Hamilton’s quotes from a different perspective and I hope it didn’t come across as though I was suggesting that he wants other drivers to be injured or worse for their mistakes. He said […]

@maroonjack I totally agree with you – I wasn’t being sarcastic when I said that I believe that Hamilton does value the current safety standards of F1. Also, I totally agree with him that drivers should be […]

@dirgegirl I was thinking Mother Jones might be a more appropriate publication. ;)

I don’t mean to miss the forest for the trees – I’m not at all bothered that Hamilton revealed that he loves driving on the […]

I post rarely but something about the Hamilton article has been bugging me – so I apologize for the rant…

I can’t decide what I like more about the Hamilton article – Hamilton’s nuanced discussion of the […]

If the Korean GP featured Psy, will a Long Beach GP feature Snoop Dogg?

Sorry, Snoop Lion…

In the Emerson Fittipaldi video, at about 4:25, the announcer says: “…Seven laps to go and there’s no reason to hold back in any respect.”

Would our current tires allow for two world champions to battle lap […]

Thank you!

“Remember we started last year 1.6s behind and by July we had the best car.” That’s how you rewrite history…

You’ve restored my faith in humanity.

“McLaren look like they’ve got one and a half drivers.”

I immediately pictured Jenson Button and Tyrion Lannister.

@prisoner-monkeys You make a very good point about Ferrari – they certainly would not tolerate a driver taking matters into his own hands as Vettel did in Malaysia. However, I do not believe that Vettel’s behavior […]

@dansus If Mateschitz intended for us to be reading between the lines about Kimi as we are, then I’m inclined to agree with you.

A pending move to Ferrari might be another reason Vettel readily disobeyed team […]

@muralibhats It is a long season and things can change but, as @adityafakhri points out, it is less likely for Sauber to bounce back after starting on the wrong foot.

I’m not the biggest Hulk fan myself, but I […]

I wonder how Hulkenberg feels about his move to Sauber at the moment.

I agree with you but I also credit Kimi and Lotus for being opportunists – had Sutil not been holding up the 3 stoppers, Kimi could have switched to a three-stop strategy himself. In that case, he may not have won […]

You hit the nail right on the head. Bringing the super-softs made no sense on this track. Drivers had everything to lose and nothing to gain by using them.

How on earth are races like Monaco and Canada going to […]
